@campbell_st can u please help:)
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
direct variation is
y = kx
to find k, use the information given
y = 384 and x = 32
so
384 = 32k
solve for k...
when you find it use the value and x = 12 to find y, the total pay

34.67 I think:(
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
ummm what did you get for k.... using the equation
384 = 32k
\[k = \frac{384}{32}\]
so what would you say..?

12
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
in this question k is actually the hourly rate of pay
OpenStudy (swagster23780):
your hot
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
great
so
y = 12x
is the equation
so now substitute x = 12 and calculate the answer
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
